Each one addresses several critical pain points for high value technology companies, such as improving sustainability, harnessing AI, ML and the cloud more efficiently, easing the sharing of data and mitigating the effects of manufacturing’s growing skills gap with greater autonomy and low- and no-code solutions. The start-ups were chosen by a panel of market experts based on the merit of their innovation, business model, commercial viability, and potential to tap into common manufacturing challenges. Seven disruptive manufacturing AI and data optimisation start-ups have been identified by tech leader Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division as contenders for the sector’s “next big thing”.

The founders are now close to completing an intensive 10-week programme to prove their product and business model, and secure the chance to launch to Hexagon’s customer base of global market leaders.

Start-ups focused on lowering barriers of entry to AI and data optimisation, developing everything from virtual “Sims-style” AI factories to “fingerprints” for 3D printed parts.

Seven-strong cohort chosen out of more than 100 applicants for Hexagon’s revolutionary new open innovation platform, Sixth Sense.

The event provides an excellent opportunity for you to hear from key leaders and experts in their fields, experience many great emerging technologies from Hexagon and its partners, and engage in thought-provoking dialog with colleagues.
